Answer

Local maximum: $0$ at $x=0$ Local minima: $-0.25$ at $x=-0.71$ and at $x=0.71$ $f$ is increasing on: $(-0.71,0)$ and $(0.71,2)$ ; $f$ is decreasing on: $(-2,-0.71)$ and $(0,0.71 )$

Work Step by Step

(graphed with desmos.com). A local maximum at x=c exists if there is an interval around c such that f(c) is the largest function value on that interval. A local minimum at x=c exists if there is an interval around c such that f(c) is the lowest function value on that interval.
